We offer different types of log cabin walls construction, depending on your needs.
- Log cabin with timber exterior
- Log cabin with rendered cement board exterior
- Timber frame wall construction
Types of log cabin walls
Our standard log cabin walls are overall 7 inches thick with 100 millimetres or 4 inches of insulation, making them wind and watertight. This can be built with either timber on the exterior or cement board. If you use cement board on your exterior you will need your builder to skim that. We will also be finishing with facia and soffit board, which will take away the original log cabin look and make your build a lot more conventional looking.
Log cabin walls – cement board
Here’s a video showing you around a log cabin with cement board log cabin walls finish. This is a great project because it’s actually a barber shop. This premises was finished at a very affordable price and as you can see is an excellent example of what can be done when using versatile log cabin walls construction.
Timber Frame Construction
If you decide to go for planning and a mortgage, you will need to use our timber frame option. This timber frame option obviously costs more as there are more elements to the build, but this can still be completed within four months of order. They are fully compliant with building regulations and will keep your planners happy.
Timber Frame Variations
We have different versions of timber frame walls construction, including conical tongue and groove, but we can clarify all of this with your engineer when it comes to pricing and construction.
